Express delivery may be available for an additional charge. Rush production is a separate request.

A great print starts with a tee you want to wear.

Fabric weight, cut and colour all change the result. These six best-selling T-shirts cover different priorities. Compare the size charts and tell us what matters most: total cost, a lighter feel or a substantial merch-ready blank.

Malcolm and the Pressing Matters team did a fantastic job. Even though I only ordered one shirt, they treated me with the same care as a big order. The price was great, the turnaround was super fast, and the print quality exceeded expectations. I'm excited to give this as a birthday gift!

I use Pressing Matters for all school spirit wear, soccer club fan wear and soccer academy kit printing. The quality of the garments is fantastic with no shrinking and the printing is consistently well done. The staff is friendly and very easy to work with. I highly recommend them.

Cassie Rodriguez

★★★★★

So glad I found this Vancouver t-shirt printing company. I had never chosen my own design before and had it screen printed on a t-shirt. It was easy to upload the design and it turned out perfectly. One can order just one t-shirt and there are lots to choose from and a great selection of colours. Communication and delivery excellent. Thank you!

Pressing Matters is a dream to work with. Malcolm and his team show up for us year after year, handling large, time-sensitive orders for our annual fundraising event with absolute professionalism. The printing is always immaculate — crisp, consistent, and exactly what we need — but what really sets them apart is their flexibility and problem-solving.

Always happy to work with the folks at Pressing Matters. They've helped me out of a jam on multiple occasions, provide great service and even custom one-off stuff is doable. Been working with them for years on multiple projects and I've always had great results.

Before you order

Your T-shirt questions, answered.

Can I order just one custom T-shirt?

Yes. DTF printing is available from one T-shirt. Send your artwork and preferred shirt so we can review the print size, placement and quote. Screen printing starts at 24 pieces.

Which T-shirt should I choose?

Start with your priorities. Compare the Gildan 5000 for an economical classic tee, American Apparel 2001 for a lighter fine-jersey option, and Comfort Colors 1717 for a relaxed heavyweight look. Check the product details and size chart before confirming your selection.

Can you print the front and back?

Include each requested position separately with its artwork and approximate dimensions. The quote confirms the decoration scope and costs for your chosen shirt.

Can I mix T-shirt sizes and colours?

Send the full breakdown by style, colour and size. We will check availability and how the artwork and decoration setup apply across the order before confirming the quote.

What if my artwork is not ready?

Send what you have and describe the result you want. We can review the next step and any artwork help needed. For finished files, include the intended print dimensions and use the artwork guide as a starting point.

Do you ship custom T-shirts across Canada?

Yes. We offer Canada-wide ground shipping from our Burnaby, BC print shop. Orders of $300 CAD or more before tax qualify for free ground shipping. Below $300, shipping starts at $19.95. Your checkout or quote confirms the charge for your destination.

How long will delivery take?

Delivery depends on both production and carrier transit. Share your postal code and required in-hand date so we can review timing for your specific order. Express shipping may be available for an additional charge; it does not shorten production time.

Can you meet my event deadline?

Tell us the date you need the finished tees in hand, whether you want pickup or shipping, and the product and quantity. Standard production estimates are not a delivery guarantee. We will review stock, production capacity and any rush request for your order.

Do you also print other garments?

Yes. Explore our Best Sellers for other garment options, or include your requirements in a quote request. This page focuses on custom T-shirts and Canada-wide delivery.
